The 13 Best Fruit Liqueurs, According to Bartenders

Includes Chinola & Giffard!

As the world defrosts and the days stretch toward the light, the urge to reach for cocktails that summon the warm weather starts to bloom. Drinks like bright, citrusy Margaritas, aromatic Lychee Martinis, or fruity and floral spritzes taste like springtime in a glass. 

One of the best ways to fast-track the fresh flavors of the season is with a fruit liqueur. The category hasn’t always had a great reputation. The worst of them are cloying and artificial, the liquid version of dime-store candy. The best fruit liqueurs capture fresh fruit flavors in a bottle, creating balanced and complex cocktails.
